Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 405: Fernanda shivered involuntarily at Gorman's words. "What exactly are you trying to say, Mr. Green?"

Was she mistaken? Did Gorman have no interest in Linsey at all?

Were her actions this evening the cause of his displeasure?

Panic momentarily flickered across Fernanda's face. With a slight smile, Gorman asked, "How do you intend to make amends with Linsey?"

His breath left him slowly, his face expressionless and frosty. "Linsey has always been dear to me; I would never hurt her. Yet tonight, you chose to drug her, instilling fear of me in her. What do you think your punishment should be?"

Fernanda's whole body shook with fear.

It was unthinkable to her that Gorman would defend Linsey to such lengths!

"You can't blame me, Mr. Green. I was only trying to help you." Biting her lip, Fernanda explained, "I remember you saying to break Linsey and Collin apart so they'd end their marriage. With that in mind, I came up with a plan. It brings you closer to Linsey while pushing them toward a breakup. Don't you think it's perfect?"

Tears nearly spilled over as she caught sight of Gorman's cold expression.

"If I hadn't done this, knowing Collin's stubborn personality, he would never have let Linsey go," she continued.

Gorman's eyes filled with disdain, and his voice dripped with sarcasm. "He is a cripple. How does he deserve to keep her?"

Shocked, Fernanda exclaimed, "That's not it at all. Collin isn't disabled. He has been pretending all these years!"

When he heard this, Gorman's expression turned grim immediately. "You're telling me Collin's been faking his disability?" The revelation took Gorman by surprise.

So, Collin was not actually disabled.

As Gorman's focus shifted towards Collin, Fernanda breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I was at Glory Hotel earlier, where I witnessed Collin rushing to Linsey's aid. He was walking perfectly, not using a wheelchair. When I confronted him, he admitted it himself." Fernanda's voice filled with indignation. "For years, Collin has masqueraded as disabled, a clear testament to his manipulative depths. He's been…"

"He's playing this part to catch me off guard, ready to contend with me and my son over the family fortune. He might already be more powerful than me."

Her anxiety increased the more she spoke. "Now that Collin knows about your feelings for Linsey, he could become a threat to you. Please be careful."

Fernanda offered a reassuring smile, saying, "Believe me, my intentions are to support you. The mishap tonight was just a misjudgment on my part. From now on, I'll be more careful."

Gorman was taken aback that Collin's supposed disability was nothing but a sham.

Had Collin really been exploiting this lie to garner Linsey's sympathy all along?

What a despicable man.

Yet, Gorman still didn't regard Collin as a significant threat.

"He may not be disabled, but he remains an insignificant fool in my eyes," Gorman said bluntly. "Collin is simply not deserving of Linsey."
